Are We Flattening The Curve?×

The logarithmic graphs of cumulative cases (or deaths) are used to show the growth rate i.e. the rate at which total cases (or deaths) grow every day. On a logarithmic graph, exponential growth (growth at a fixed % per day) looks like a straight rising line. If a region is slowing the spread, you will see the curve angling down and the daily percentage growth in cases start to drop.

The doubling time (T_d) is the time it will take to double the number of total cases. Higher doubling time is better! For example, Canada showed a doubling time of 2.8 days at the start of the spread meaning that the total number of cases were doubling approx. every 3 days. The current doubling time (obtained from the last 5 days) is shown in the graphs.

For comparison purposes, region curves are aligned to day 0, the day the region reached 200 total cases or 10 total deaths, even though regions reached this milestone on different calendar dates.
